Alas

Before the Journey
At 12 her city was attacked by a necromancer. Her father and grandfather die at the beginning of the attack. They were with the elder dragon that was killed and reanimated under the necromancer's control.

Alas and her little brother were at the library when the attack happened. They got surrounded by their undead friends and neighbors. Alas was scratched badly by one of them on her back and her left eye. In a panic her brother cast a spell he just looked at hours before, a teleportation spell. It rebound taking his life and most of her memory.

She landed unconscious on a random road where her adoptive parents found her. They tried to help her regain her memory until they passed of old age, when she was 16.

She can recall her first name and how to speak draconic. She took on the last name Pinespell to honor her adoptive parents. Due to nightmares she hates sleeping, luckily, she’s an elf and doesn’t need to sleep. The nightmares are about the undead. If she sees the undead, she freezes up and flees when she feels she can. She had been trying to overcome this fear but has made little improvement.

Due to the fact she can speak with dragons, she always tries to speak to any of them or anyone that can speak draconic.

After her parents died, she lived on her own in the woods till 67 years old (she’s not entirely sure of her age) with lack of interaction with other people her communication skills are lacking greatly.

A Short Journey
Alas didn't last long on this journey. During the first couple of days a hoard of orcs arrived at a town. She had an amazing shot and was able to hit a scarred grey orc from 300 feet with her short bow. She was able to hit him two more time before he made it to her. She ran away into the town and got no help. She hid from the orc, but it was no use. Once she was caught she attempted to kill herself by stabbing herself and biting her tongue off. It was no use for the orc wanted her alive, but chopped her leg off for trying to escape.
